If you know please help me. Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

It is possible, yes. You can open the emulator with certain commands from the command line and you can create a script that will run those commands automatically and then link it to your desktp.

To create an executable script with a shortcut on the desktop: https://askubuntu.com/questions/299052/how-to-execute-sh-script-from-a-desktop-shortcut

And in the script you need to set the commands for opening the emulator which you can find here: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline.html

I don't have an ubuntu machine right now so i can't help you more but you should be able t get it going from here.

Go to the Android Studio Application menu bar. Go to tools then click Desktop Entry and it will be added on your applications menu.
